Overview-
Alright, here is the story....errr..there isn't one.....basically, this
game pits you
against 8 competitors in courses from around the world. The
plot is simple: You kick everyone's
ass 'til you get to #1 and win. The characters all have their
own individual ending that's in full
motion video, which is the bomb =)
Gameplay:
You can basically get through this game using four keys, so it
doesn't take a genius to
figure this one out. The game also offers weapons such as
knives and land mines, but you do not
need them at all. Also, there is a turbo button which will give
you a speed boost for a couple
of seconds. While racing, you are able to pick items up and
use them to your advantage.
Control:
The key placements of this game are horrible... the
acceleration button is the "." key.
The buttons that move left and right are the "z" and "X" keys.
The button that lets you go
backwards is the friggin / key on the number pad. Speed boost
key is pretty important too... it
is the spacebar. You do end up crashing into every corner if
you do not pay attention to the
road.
Graphics:
At first, I thought the graphics in the game were horrible...but
then I started noticing the
little details they made. Details such as a swinging boat in the
amusement park and choppers
flying over the city in New York. I must admit, the graphics in
this game are awesome for the
size of the game! This game's graphics were 10 times better
than Speedy Zone in about half the size.
Music & Sound:
The music gets kinda boring after a while because there are
only a couple of tracks in the
entire game. The sound effects were horrible. I believe I
heard two "bleeps" during race time.
Fun Factor:
This game is damn good for its size. I think it's challenging
anough to reply over and over
again. I played it for 1 1/2 hours straight and only beat two
boards, so it has the difficulty
levels too. This game will stay on you hard drive for at least a
month or so...and that's long
for me!
Multiplay:
Playing this game multiplayer is a blast.....you can literally
play Wreckin Crew with a friend hours upon hours.
Final Comments:
This game rocks. Get it, you won't be disappointed!
